<h2>Why is this an issue?</h2>
<p>Type parameters that aren’t used are dead code, which can only distract and possibly confuse developers during maintenance. Therefore, unused type
parameters should be removed.</p>
<h3>Noncompliant code example</h3>
<pre>
int &lt;T&gt; Add(int a, int b) // Noncompliant; &lt;T&gt; is ignored
{
  return a + b;
}
</pre>
<h3>Compliant solution</h3>
<pre>
int Add(int a, int b)
{
  return a + b;
}
</pre>
